Peter, We were distant relatives because of where we lived but that did not prevent me from admiring you and caring about you. You and Kris made up a short but strong branch of our family tree. You were a vital part to that branch. Hope you can stake out a claim in heaven for the rest of us. All the best, uncle Jay

Peter, I remember you being a young boy. Although I didn't see you often, I was glad to be an aunt to a very intelligent, nice young man. How sad that you and cousin Kris will never grow old. Hope you had a glorious reunion with your grandparents! Love, Aunt Donna

He had a passion for good heraldic design, but was able to maintain a sense of humor about it. Had to admire both those things. He'll be missed.

To my darling Peter. You were my first born, my little boy. You became my best friend, confidant, educator, helper and the best son anyone could ever have. I miss you terribly, you will always be next to my heart.

Spent a good deal of time reading Peter's postings about heraldry. Although I never met him face to face, I was impressed with his grace and knowledge. He will be missed by the SCA heraldic community.

Peter worked for our company some 14 years ago, but we talked about him just last week as some of us were remembering past employees.

We were surprised and saddened to learn of his death.

We remember his warmth and good sense of humor. All of us at Post Haste Mailing Services would like to extend our condolences to his family.

What a joy Peter was to know.



Such knowledge, style, wit and grace.



A kind and gentle spirit...so very rare in Adria and the world in general.



The world is a poorer place without him and he left us far too soon.

Peter, as Nigel, was a regular contributor to one of my mailing lists, and that is the only way I knew him. His postings were, by turns, amusing, informative and insightful. He is and will be missed.
